I'd go for yours plus a snappy quote after the new feature list. You'll also 
want to footnote a few things and provide, in editors' notes, a brief 
explanation of what the heck certain things are (GNOME, VOIP & SIP). Finally 
you need some "for more info" contact details in there, immediately after the 
text and before any editors' notes.

Tech press releases always seem to be inexplicably long and boring. Short 'n' 
sweet is always better =)

Tom
